Compulsion to have (as) many children (as possible).

fr. (Latin) fecendus "fruitful" or "fertile" + (Greek) mania "madness" or "frenzy"

psychodoxy

What those "who think how we should think" and if any varies in the slightest, get treatment that makes the Inquisition look like Club Med.
Portmanteau of 'psycho-' (mind) & 'orthodoxy' (right opinion), actually a continuation of the Mental Hygiene arm of Eugenics and a possible prophecy of Orwell's 1984 & other dystopias

When you need to see a psychiatrist, you need to be a nice circus lapdog and keep her/him from thinking (if they do) that you're too deviant from their (&/or superiors) Psychodoxy since they have God-like power to make your life (more) miserable, with no appeal, those often make things worse

monoheteroconformity

An elaboration of heteronormative, means that only monogamous heterosexual relationships are permitted, the 'mono' part could be dropped for those practicing single vs. plural gender combinations &/or 'matri' (marriage) can be entered before or between parts (below) for an ecclesiastical &/or nationalist tone

Portmantaeu of mono (single) + heterosexual) + conformity (restricted variety or freedom).

Jeez, it's now the 21st century but plenty of olde & dusty (read 'dirty') institutions, some dating millennia back, are still insisting that monoheteroconformity is the only way to live decently
